Puerto Ricans
Puerto Ricans (Spanish: Puertorriqueños, [pweɾtoriˈkeɲos]), commonly referred to using the endonym Boricuas, but also occasionally referred to as Borinqueños, Borincanos, or Puertorros, are an ethnic group based in the Caribbean archipelago and island of Puerto Rico, and a nation identified with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico through ancestry, culture, or history. Puerto Ricans are predominately a tri-racial, Spanish-speaking, Christian society, descending in varying degrees from Indigenous peoples (including the Ciguayos, Macorix, and Taínos), Spanish and other European colonists, and West and Central African slaves, freedmen, and free Blacks.
